Bracelets made of beads or nuts

Now we will teach you how to weave bracelets from beads and beads in the most in a simple way, accessible even to those just starting to master the science of beading.

Do you know how to braid a regular braid? If the answer is yes, then you can completely cope with the task of making such a bracelet from small beads (seed beads) and waxed cord. You will just need to sequentially weave the beads into the braid, which is woven from the cord.

In the same way, you can weave a bracelet from thick rope and hexagonal nuts.

To make such a bracelet with your own hands, we need:

any beads small size (4-6 mm). The number of beads depends on how long the bracelet you want. Decide in advance whether it will wrap around your wrist once or several times.

leather cord

durable threads suitable color. The threads do not have to match the leather cord; they can be of a contrasting color. A prerequisite: the thread must be of such thickness that, folded in half twice, it can pass through the hole in the bead.

beautiful button for clasp

needle, scissors, clip for attaching the bracelet during weaving

Work plan:

1. Measure the desired length of leather cord. Keep in mind that the cord folds in half and that you need to leave extra length for the fastener.

2. Measure the thread of the required length, thread it through a needle, and tie a knot. The thread must be double.

3. Fold the leather cord in half, attach the thread to it with the knot facing up, with the needle hanging at the bottom. Leave a small distance for the clasp loop and make a knot by tying the lace and thread together. Before making a knot, make sure the fastening button fits through the loop.

4. Attach the string with clips to a piece of cardboard on both sides for ease of use. There is no need to attach a thread. Now we proceed directly to weaving the bracelet.

5. First we will make a few stitches without adding beads. Pull the thread OVER the right end of the lace, now back UNDER it, then OVER the left end of the lace and back UNDER it. The stitch is shaped like 8. Do this 5-6 times.

6. Now let's start adding beads between the two ends of the lace. When the thread comes FROM UNDER the left end of the cord, add a bead. Now pass the thread OVER and back UNDER the right end, again through the bead, then OVER and back UNDER the left end of the cord. Now add another bead and so on.

7. Tie a button at the end for a fastener. The bracelet is ready.

Making a paper bracelet

At folding crafts the sheet of paper should be arranged in a diamond shape.

Fold a sheet of paper in half (top to bottom and right to left). After this, we unfold it to its original position.
Fold the top and bottom corners to the center bend line.
Then we unfold the bottom corner and bend it to the new bend line.
Unfold the bottom corner again and bend it to the top edge of the sheet.
We unfold the sheet and perform steps 3-4 with the other half of the sheet.
Now you need to turn the sheet over and bend the bottom corner until it intersects with the first bend.
Unfold the previous fold and bend it again, but to the second bend.

We perform similar actions so that your sheet is divided into sixteen equal parts.
We unfold the sheet so that the folds are vertical and begin folding the folds.
It should look like in the picture.
We do the same actions with the other side of the sheet.
Now turn the workpiece over and smooth it with your fingers.
We bend the workpiece into a ring and insert one edge into the pocket of the other until they form a rhombus.
All that remains is to smooth out the origami bracelet and give it a round shape.

Children's crafts for February 14 (Valentine's Day): DIY paper heart bracelets.

Bracelets with hearts - crafts for February 14

Bracelets with hearts are simple children's paper crafts for February 14th, which can be made even with children from three years old. Children can give these bracelets to each other, mother, grandmother or kindergarten teacher.

How to make a paper bracelet with hearts

For kids who do not yet know how to use scissors, to make crafts, give them ready-made bases for bracelets - strips of paper (preferably thick paper, for example, landscape paper), with cuts.

The length of the strip depends on the circumference of the children's wrist - to this value you need to add 3.5 - 4 cm for the clasp and a more free placement on the hand. Make cuts at a distance of 1.5 cm from each edge of the strip, one to the middle of the width of the strip from the bottom, the other to the middle of the width of the strip from the top.

The children’s task is to draw bright hearts on these strips independently or using a template. The template must be made from cardboard in advance: using nail scissors or a stationery knife, cut a heart-shaped hole in the cardboard. Tracing the inner contour for small children is much easier than tracing the outer contour of a small cardboard figure.

Paper is a very short-lived material, so such bracelets made from it are disposable. They tear along the cut lines made for fastening. To make the bracelet last longer, you can cover it with transparent adhesive tape.

Children who know how to cut can make the strips for the base of the bracelets based on the pattern themselves, and draw the hearts either on the base or separately, then cut them out and glue them to the base.

You can also cut hearts out of paper-based foil, colored paper, wrapping paper, or even glue ready-made stickers with hearts.

To fasten the bracelet, you need to insert the ends paper strip into each other at the incision sites. Place the bracelet on your hand with the clasp to back side wrists.
